Circe – Madeline Miller

Give a review of the novel Circe, by Madeline Miller. Use two sources, one being the book itself and the second the poem, The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson.
Touch on the below points:
1. How successful is Miller in adapting material from the Odyssey?
2. If Miller changes materials regarding the original myth, why and how does she do so? What purpose does it serve?
3. Focus primarily on the characterization of Circe
4. To a lesser degree, some other examples of topics to discuss in the paper: Circe’s relationship with the gods and/or humans; the changing characterization of Odysseus; the characterization of ‘minor’ characters like Hermes, Pasiphae, or Jason; the nature of the gods in general as portrayed in the novel; the novel’s sense of time. You might also consider whether Miller’s understanding of Circe, Odysseus, and the Odyssey impacts how you understand those characters and the ancient text.

Film Evaluation on To Kill A Mockingbird

Subject: Adaptations/Film & Society
The classic film To Kill A Mockingbird was released in 1962 in the midst of the civil rights movement of the U.S. Not only is it an adaptation of a classic novel, but clearly a film to address the social unrest and inequities of the justice system. Gregory Peck won the Oscar for his portrayal of the great, benevolent, defense attorney Atticus Finch. However, many were shocked with the release of Harper Lee’s book, Go Set A Watchman to discover an elderly Atticus Finch upholding white supremacy and segregationist views. Does this alter your view of the film? Read some of the modern criticism of the book/film versus the adulation the film has received over the years. Do you agree or disagree with the critics and why?
